3 Gorges Dam Do the positive benefits outweigh the negative effects? There are many sides and opinions on the whether or not the Three Gorges Dam has a more positive or negative impact on the country. In my opinion, the Three Gorges Dam, built in China, has a negative impact on the nation. This dam is very powerful in ways that it threatens many animals, makes China’s terrible droughts even worse, and it causes damage and removal of important monument and statues in China. In document 3, it states “The Three Gorges Dam project threatens may endangered species that are native to the Yangtze River.” Then, it later in document 3, it states, “These species may soon be extinct, and the Three Gorges Dam will accelerate their decline due to it's effects on the Yangtze River and lakes connected to it.” This means that the dam is increasing the number of animals dying, and it's threatening species. There are many native and indigenous plants and animals that use the Yangtze River to survive, and this dam may be putting these species to extinction. Another problem that the Three Gorges Dam causes is how it causes some of China’s worst droughts to be even more powerful and harmful. In document 1, it states, “Hong is one of millions in China affected by the worst drought to hit China since 1961.”...”Along with other farmers and environmentalists, she points to The Three Gorges Dam, the world's largest hydropower project as a resource nightmare that was exacerbated [worsened] the…

Stretching a total of about 3,964 miles, the Yangtze River has played a considerable role in the lives of Chinese citizens for thousands of years. Along with serving as a major form of water transportation and trading, Asia’s longest river is considered a key role in China’s agriculture and economic system. Where the river runs through Sandouping, one would find the Three Gorges Dam—the largest, and possibly the most infamous, dam in the world. Even though the Chinese government had intentions…

Due to the increase in demand for renewable energy a surge in large dam projects for hydropower generation is expected. Because hydropower is one of the most economic energy sources and is renewable along with other benefits such as irrigation, flood mitigation, navigation and water supply. In case of construction of large dams changes in terrestrial ecosystems can alter the climate, soils, vegetation, water resources and bio diversity. Therefore it is essential to understand the environmental…

Fu; Graves’ disease and hyperthyroidism ”is much more common among women than in men, with a female:male ratio ranging from 5:1 to 10:1.” (Y.H. Dong, 3612) Although, the reasons for why the risk is higher in women is not completely clear they are certain that it has something to do with the X- chromosome inactivation in females. However, if the disease is…

over one million people, casting them from their homes and jobs with no prospects and no future. The government, in the dam’s initial stages, promised to reimburse families and farmers financially and in terms of lost land. However, since much of the farming land used was never registered with the government, farmers are not eligible to be reimbursed. Many families are also having trouble receiving money from the government, with over a million people to reimburse finances are stretched, and the…

preference on robustness is dependent on coupling probability. Tan et al.[50] investigate the effect of coupling preference on cascading failures in interconnected networks and found that assortative coupling is more useful to prevent the cascades. Zhou D et al[51] indicate that assortativity can decrease the robustness of interdependent networks. In these studies, the coupling preferences mainly based on global connection, which indicates that one node in a network connects another node with…

The life changing moments materialized in a small mountain range in the Northwestern part Hubei, China, called the Wundang Mountains at the…
